Kosgoda is a sleepy fishing village located on the South Western costal belt of the island. The world attention was focused on Kosgoda with its pioneering sea turtle conservation projects launched by passionate naturalists in the early eighties.  Since then it has become a prime turtle nesting and releasing station, which attracts thousands of Sri Lankan and foreign tourists making Kosgoda a destination status. 
With the launch of globally renowned Sheraton brand in February 2020 in ‘Naape’, Kosgoda, global eyes turned on this sleepy village not only for popular ‘Turtle Conservation’ Projects, but for the pristine beach with dreamy sunsets too. ‘Sheraton Kosgoda Turtle Beach Resort’ offers a superior service and iconic dining and sophisticated spaces to the smart travel enthusiast.

half years.
‘The Resort was opened in February 2020, but after a few weeks into our operations, we have to close the property due to the Covid pandemic situation. But hit the rough patch again due to the economic crises. But with the improvement of the situation and the arrival of tourists we are looking forward to a cheerful season and better 2024’ said Mano Gunasekera, the General Manager of Sheraton Kosgoda.
